oldschool grind in legion

[Proskill]

is there anything to grind/farm in legion like u could in vanilla ? winterfall firewater from furbolgs or elemental essences ? something that i could just sit for unlimited time and grind certain area/mobs.

world quests are limited, plus some i dislike (like murky or wisp ones) because i want to play my class.

looking for that oldschool grind in legion

This thread is going places I can tell

Classic had very much finite grinds and ways to progress.

Legion's "grind" is endless, you're always able to progress your character. Legion wins on every front over Classic.

No.

With the exception that legion farming is super annoying. I kinda miss that oldschool farming too. At least swim can experience some of it on private servers *wink* :>

Grinding isn't always about advancing your character, and Legion's world content is boring as fuck and largely completable as an observer.

any open world mobs dropping legendaries or anything like that ?

The closest you can find is the Sentinax event, which is similar to the Shaohao rep or the most recent Apexis grind, if you are up to that kind of thing.

Other than that, there are several hidden artifact appearances you can go after that have a low chance to drop from mobs. The Holy Pala one for example has a very small chance to drop from demons in Faronaar.

Says you.

To others, it's the best world content they've EVER offered which is also RELEVANT so many months beyond reaching max level, which is unique.

Grinds that aren't about advancing your character remain relevant precisely because they don't exist to be relevant. They simply exist for the fun of existing. The Legion AP grind is, essentially, the entire expansion - it is everything, and everything circulates around it.

You present your own opinions as fact and then play the "says you" card when someone disagrees with you? Poor form. Your opinion is of no more relevance than mine or anyone else's, so unless we're discussing this with the tacit understanding that we are discussing opinions, (which I thought was obvious), there is no point in discussing anything at all.

No. It was speculated that this would be a thing and a way to grind specific legendaries but they can drop from; Emissary chests, Armies of Legionfall resource chests, treasure chests around the world, rare mobs, dungeon/raid bosses, weekly mythic+ chest and normal mythic+ chests. Also 1 crafted legendary per armor type.

All rare mobs in the world have a chance to drop legendaries

Yeah, or you wait until the next 7.x Patch and get your Progression done in about 1/100 of the time. Don't get me wrong, I really like grinding in MMOs, but Progressing by grinding doesn't work well with extreme Catch-up mechanisms. If Blizzard were known for minor Catch-Ups only and the AP were account wide I would play the sit out of the game right now, but as is... I feels like waiting for catch-ups is the most effective way to play.

The only reason it was enjoyable was because of the reward. Even reaching 60 felt like some sort of meaningful achievement.
Today you have severely retarded grind systems with next to 0 reward.

I have to give a big shoutout to one of the "design pearls" of this expansion, the exalted paragon caches. Those guys should receive some scientific commendations for proving deeper pavlovian constructs based on the people who find that thing ok.

and how is this a bad thing ? i think its a great addition to already existing world quests and emissary chests since reputation factions are so pointless in legion (unless u want toys) and easy to get exalted. now u can at least get additional chests and hope for legendaries this expansion is all about. fuck d3

Fuck no reward !

is it so hard to find anything grindable from mobs in this expansion ?

the biggest problem i have with current modern wow compared to vanilla/tbc or even wotlk is that open world creatures die too fast. again comparison to diablo 3 where i just slaughter hundreds of demons.
i spend more time traveling between world quests than actually doing them alone. i pull a pack of as many as possible and just aoe the shit out of them - cuz i can, cuz blizzard let us do it. 2 min to complete wq, 3 min travel to the next one

i would like again to grind at relatively slow pace elementals in ungoro, furbolgs in wintersrping, skeletons in wpl one by one, maybe two at a time. i would feel more accomplished than 'cheating' my way through tens of mobs with a single ability or two

u see, when 7.2 came out and blizzard stealth scaled open world mobs so they are tougher a lot of ppl on this forum were complaining about it ! thats just beyond me, are you retarded ?
